[Music] [Applause] [Music] Last time class, please be seated. Welcome to the

00259th commencement exercises at Cinnamonson High School. Commencement, the solemn but joyful climax and recognition of the graduates years of study is an important and meaningful occasion to the high school, its faculty, staff, and students. In keeping with this feeling, all guests and participants are requested to avoid unnecessary conversation or moving about during the exercise. It is also requested that the audience give each member of the class of 2025 his or her deserved recognition as he or she is called to receive his or her diploma. Please hold all applause until all members of the class of 2025 in attendance have received diplomas. Members of the audience are requested to stand as we pay homage to our great nation with the performance of the national anthem performed by senior soloist Addison Evans and the Cinnamonson High School

003school concert band conducted by senior Colin Donovan. Class, please stand. [Music] Oh, say can you see by the dawn early light, what's so proudly to be held at the twilight last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars through the paral fly or the ramparts we watch were so gallently streaming and the rockets red glare the bombs were singing in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled B away [Music] for the land of the free and the hope of the brave. Please be seated. It is now my pleasure to introduce our high school principal, Mr. Ryan Gorman. [Applause] Good evening and welcome to the 59th commencement exercises for Cinnamonson High School. It is my honor to welcome our board of education, district administration, my colleagues

004from the high school, parents, family, friends, and most importantly, the class of 2025 to this evening's celebration. Before continuing with my formal remarks, I would like to take a moment to thank the individuals who made this celebration a reality. Mr. Mark Tindle and the maintenance and grounds crew, our special events coordinators, Mrs. Julie Leited and Mrs. Elizabeth Kilroy, our band director, Dr. Dalvio, our choir director, Mr. Bacon and the students in the band and the choir for their contributions to this year's ceremony. Please join me in a round of applause for the people whose efforts make tonight possible. I would also like to recognize and thank the parents and family members who molded these young people into what they are today. Our success as a district is a direct result of the support and dedication

005of the CHS community. You have repeatedly proven to be outstanding partners in creating incredible young people and I would like to show my appreciation for you with another round of applause. My goal for this speech each year is to identify one salient idea that I can offer to the graduating class without sounding like a pedantic philosophy professor droning on about the epistemological nature of human knowledge or the axiological nature of individual ethics. With that in mind, I want to give the class of 2025 one simple message before this they leave this school that they have called home for the last four years. As you stand on the edge of this new chapter, I encourage you to pursue your passion. The world will offer you countless paths. Some will be practical, others lined with expectations, but

006I think you will find the most fulfilling road is the one that allows you to wake up excited for the day ahead. Be careful. Passion isn't always loud or obvious. Often it's just a nudge towards something that makes you feel alive, purposeful, or uniquely yourself. You may only hear it if you open yourself up to a qualitative reflection on the things that you care about most. But pe please pay attention in those quiet moments. Let them guide you even when the road may seem uncertain or unconventional because your work with when you work with passion, you're not just building a career. You are building a life that reflects your true self. Pursuing your passion may not always be easy. If your life is anything like mine, it will it will contain countless setbacks, turnarounds, and

007doubts. But if you hold on to what drives you, what makes your heart race, and your spirit sing, you will undoubtedly find strength and clarity even in the hardest of moments. Passion fuels resilience. It pushes you to grow, to take risks, and to keep going when everyone else stops. I've seen the passion contained within the class of 2025 on countless occasions. It's in your classrooms, on the athletic fields, performing on the stage, and caring for your fellow classmates. You are a wonderful young men and women who have acquired all of the necessary tools and skills to change the world. I cannot wait to see what your passion will create. Please join me in a round of applause, congratulating the class of 2025. It is it is my honor to welcome our first speaker, the class

008of 2025 validictorian, Brendan Fra. [Applause] Good evening to the graduates, families, faculty, administrators, members of the board of education, and the entirety community of Cinnamonson High School as a whole. I first want to start off by saying we finally did it, class of 2025. We made it to the big day. For me, it is an absolute honor to be able to speak to all of you today. This class is special not just because of its outstanding accomplishments in academics, sports, arts, and beyond. But also because we are the first class in over 5 years to be able to say that our high school experience wasn't affected by co. Sure, we may have missed out on a few opportunities in our freshman year, but beyond that, we've been extremely lucky to have been able to have

009high high school go as expected. It is something I'm sure we're all grateful for, but that is not the only thing that allowed us to have this experience of school. We've put our efforts into all facets of school for the last 13 years. Our teachers have dedicated countless hours to our learning. Our coaches have worked hard to foster excellence in all of our sports. The administrators have made sure we had the resources we needed no matter our situation. The maintenance staff have ensured we had clean and functioning learning spaces and especially our families have supported us our entire lives and for that I want to thank each and every one of you. Today graduation marks the end of our journey as the class of 2025. Whether you're like me and have been with us since

010New Alm School or you joined us along the way, we have all come together today to celebrate not just the end of high school, but the time we've spent together and the memories we made along the way. And so that brings me to what I want to talk about today. One of my favorite things in the world, food. As we all know, food is important. I mean, we do need it to survive, but we also need it to connect. It's one of few universal languages that can bring anyone together. Whether it's a dinner with your family or friends, a late night waw wa run, or even popcorn at a movie theater, food is what brings you to that place in time. And it has been a part of what made high school and our class

011feel like a family in a way. I'm not sure if food has anyone has seen food like this, but it's something I truly realized not too long ago. Just think about it. How many friendships have started from lunch tables? And how many of our best memories from high school had a large component of food? The parentr run holiday parties in elementary school. Our trips to Camp Baka Nickin, school dances, especially those Chick-fil-A nuggets at homecoming. Standing in the food line at football games, those parties we had in Miss Arbles's class. Affinity group movie nights and many, many more times. Food has this amazing way of turning strangers into friends and friends into family. And in the same way, the last 13 years as the class of 2025 have turned a group of students into a

012class we can call our school family. And just like a good meal, high school was a blend of today. We will all be headed our separate ways. From college to trade school, the military and the workforce, we will still all carry the shared table of our time together. book fairs, playing games like Gaga and kickball at recess, the end of year water slide parties and rush school, field days, fitness frenzies, freshman orientation, the many school dances, sporting events, the lift up we were a part of in 10th grade, our outstanding pep rally performances, the wonderful senior events that took place over the past few months and now graduation, just to name a few. Wherever you end up, I encourage you to share your table with new people, meet people, try new things, use food or

013whatever passion you may have as a way to build connections. Because at the end of a journey like today is, it's not solely about celebrating our accomplishments, but the journey that it took to get here and the people we share these accomplishments with. It's about the people here sitting with us at our table and cheering us on. So, class of 2025, we feasted on all of what high school had to offer. Now, it's time to see whatever comes next. I'm sure I'm not the first, and I definitely won't be the last. But I do want to wish you all congratulations on graduating, and good luck wherever your future takes you. [Applause] I'm equally proud to announce our next speaker, the class of 2025 salutatoran, Kellen Kohler. Good evening, everyone. It is such an honor to

014stand before you, the class of 2025, and all the support figures that have allowed each and every one of these students to make it to this point. I would like to start out by thanking every parent and guardian here for every ride and late night, but primarily for the presence and belief that is the fuel of hope for young minds. I would also like to thank our terrific staff. Each of your roles has been instrumental in shaping the 5-year-olds who walk through school doors for the first time in the fall of 2012 with backpacks bigger than their bodies into the sophisticated scholars, athletes, artists, and more that stand here today. You have instilled not just knowledge into these students, but a capacity for wonder and a drive to reach the very goals that result. And

015for that, we are eternally grateful. Graduation speeches like these frequently follow a similar similar formula. They cite quotes like don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. And stories from their shared childhood to highlight how far they've come. However, I feel I cannot speak on these things for two primary reasons. Number one, these words skew the reality of today, making it seem like an ending rather than the beginning that it really is. And number two, I wasn't a part of this class until middle school and wasn't consistently attending inerson classes with them until high school and thus lacked the background knowledge to truly make this impactful. I'm not sure if stories of a 16-year-old's biology final hold the same sentimental weight for parents. So instead, I can speak on something that I do know,

016the human body. As a student of science, I have researched and analyzed the body, how it works, and why it works. As an athlete, I have seen both the great strengths of the body and its major flaws. I have found its limit and what happens when that capacity is reached. And what I have learned is that the human body sometimes does things so incredible it feels like science fiction or perhaps even magic. Our bodies can regenerate organs, produce two genetically identical individuals via zygotic splitting, and even predict the weather by noting pressure drops. Even the most mundane functions that our bodies perform for us tirelessly are incredible when you take a moment to look at them. For example, the stomach acid we use to digest every meal is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. And

017each time your heart pumps, the blood travels through a network of around 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body. But perhaps one of the most incredible functions of your body is its ability to prepare itself for the unknown. When the body perceives a threat or stressor, the sympathetic nervous system is immediately brought into action. Commonly, the result of this action activation are referred to as the flight or fight phenomenon. And this response has been vital in the survival of our species. As a result of sympathetic nervous system activation, heart rate and blood pressure increase, blood is directed away from organs performing secondary functions such as the gastroenology system. Muscle tone increases and hormones like epinephrine aka adrenaline are pumped through the bloodstream. This response allows us to run faster, jump higher, and lift heavier

018objects. It's quite poetic when you think about it. Your body does not know exactly what is coming, how big or bad the threat may be, but it is ready to do absolutely everything in it power to fight for you. Individuals in society today may not encounter the same threats as our ancestors did. But the reality is that we are still faced with many unknowns. We are currently leaving a chapter of our lives, one that was generally characterized more by security and support than what we know of the next. And this can be terrifying. We are being faced with perhaps the biggest unknown we have ever experienced. But when your heart starts beating a little faster, thinking about the next steps, when your breathing begins to shift, remember that this is your body's way of telling

019you, "We are ready." As when responding to physical threats, your mind may be the last part of you that gets on board, and that's okay. Over these last few years, we have grown as students and is pieced together by the people in our community and the things we have learned at this point. You are the smartest that you've ever been. You are the strongest you've ever been. And though the brain tends to doubt the very system that it organ operates, you are more than ready than ever for this unknown. Knowing the biological support we have in these moments, I have one final request for my peers. If there is a true threat, your body has got you covered. So live freely. Live without fear. When you love, love with all of your heart. When you

020speak, do so loudly and unapologetically. Never doubt that you can make a space. Make enough for yourself in this world. And as Denzel Washington famously said, when you fall throughout life, remember this, fall forward. Thank you. Please welcome to the podium our superintendent of schools, Mr. Steven Capella. [Applause] Good evening everyone. Class of 2025. When I addressed this same group at this same field when you were eighth graders, I told you that CHS had endless possibilities for you. You could reinvent yourselves and do anything as you forged your path forward as a pirate. And now, four years later, you did just that. And you did so in spades. However, there is one thing that you can't do. And that one thing is to make our finite time here together last any longer. These next 50

021minutes or so are your last moments as students here in Cinnamonson. Every day in life is filled with moments. The moments range from a blend of the mundane to moments that define us or even inspire us. But only an infinitely small minority of these most significant moments ascend into memories. These moments that stay with us are retold year after year with friends and family because of the significance of what they were or what they're meant to be. For all of you, this ceremony will undoubtedly turn from a moment to a memory and hopefully a core memory. And not only for you on the field, but also for your families and friends who are in the stands. As scholars, you've worked together, some of you for as many as 13 years, sharing your time together, your

022trials, tribulations, your wins, and your losses. You wrote the sentences as your class authored the chapters in a volume of pirate tradition that will for forever be stored in Cinnamon Legacy. You've worked together to get to this moment and on behalf of my colleagues on the board of education, we are so honored to share your final pirate memories together with you. Not too long ago, I had lunch with some members from the class of 2025. I asked them about their first core memory in Cinnamon. It was both funny and ironic the diversity in their answers. Alex's first memory was an argument that she had with Gavin in grade school. Megan recalled the ice cream sandwiches in the new Albany cafeteria. And John, well, John talked about his first friend in Cinnamonson, Tommy. It's funny the

023things that stay with us and that we shared during lunch. And I told that group that day the same thing that I shared at your senior breakfast and have been saying throughout the course of your senior year together. You will all remember tonight, but you'll all remember maybe something a little bit different about tonight. Brendan, I appreciate your words so much about the stakeholders who help bring us to this table of graduation. With all of the memories made together, it would be unfortunate if we didn't take some time to offer gratitude to the village that made this possible. You represent the very best of your parents and of your families, and they love you the way Kellen reminds us that we should with all of their hearts. I've often asked graduates to take time after

024graduation to make sure that they thank their parents. But tonight, I was hoping maybe we could um give them a core memory together, one that they can store in their brains forever and maybe even up in the cloud. So, here's a cheat code for a core memory tonight. And I was there earlier tonight when Mrs. Leeds made you promise to put your phones away, but maybe real quick you could all indulge me. Go ahead and take your phones out. And I want you to take a selfie. And I want you to send a text message to someone who's sitting in the stands up there. Their view is not that great. Yours is much better on the field. I want you to send them a message to mom, to dad, to a grandparent. Go ahead. You're

025loud. To a sibling. Express your gratitude to them. Thank them. Share a special moment with them. If you don't know how to take a selfie just like this, give me a second while I text my dad. I'll wait. Thanks, guys. And fortunately, even if this doesn't make it into their core memories, 10 years from now, Facebook will remind them of that picture. Maybe Instagram will remind you guys. And I don't know that there's anything left that I can say that's more meaningful or more special than the message that you just crafted for them. And to the class of 2025 and your families, my final words to you are also in gratitude. Parents, thank you for entrusting your children with us. And students, thank you for the memories. Congratulations once again. We're all so proud of

026you. Mr. Gorman will now recognize the top 10% of the class of 2025. Please stand as your name is announced and remain standing until all names have been read.
